Whew - Week 1

Wow! Has it really been less than a week since our Kickstarter ended? We've jumped right into production on Project Fedora and we want to thank you all for your generosity and support to make this possible. We are excited, thrilled, and still in a bit of shock that we are actually in development for the next Tex Murphy game. The great news is that since we have surpassed our Kickstarter goal, it will expand and broaden the Project Fedora game. However, this will change our estimated delivery date. We are in the process of updating our delivery dates for all of the incentives and we will have a document available next week about when to expect the incentives.

We have really loved being part of the Kickstarter community and we hope to carry over all the great backer interaction into the development process of Project Fedora. You guys have been so positive throughout the campaign - and on top of that, you guys are hysterical (The "Tex Murphy Musical" themes had us laughing all morning). We want to continue having your input throughout the process.

In fact, you can participate right now by voting on your top 3 choices of new business establishments for Chandler Avenue. The survey can be found here.

We also hope to do more "Google+ Broadcasts" as we continue throughout development.

Many people at the $500+ tiers have asked about where to submit their photos. We will contact you guys later this week with an email address to send the photos to.

With regard to the Hat Sizes, here is a chart:

With regard to the T-Shirt Sizes, here is a chart:

Thank you guys again - we'll be working as hard as we can to bring you the next Tex Murphy installment!

Comments

My top few included
- Rival PI
- Speeder Repair Shop (like a seedy body shop/auto mechanic with lots of cool items for your inventory)
- thrift store (run by some ridiculous hipster that Tex could make fun of for wearing a Fedora in a non-PI fashion?)
- jazz club (so excited about the live versions of the songs being recorded!)
The Cosmic Connection (or other hippie/mysticism store), inspector Burns BBQ, Weenie World, Bob's Wonder Emporium, Bowling Alley and Crazy Gary's Organic Produce were all up there too.

I voted for Rival PI, and judging from the comments a lot of us did, so I think that one will definitely make it. I don't know if anyone else already said this, but the PI's last name, of course, should be Cash (as in "Cash! My nemesis!" ;) ) It would be even more interesting if the rival PI is female.

I could picture myself - as the "Weird Swede" - in a bookstore on Chandler Ave, as I'm the owner of one irl.
Maybe I even can picture a picture of myself on the wall of that bookstore that I'm picturing. ;P

I've made my selection for Chandler Ave during the day and my partner asked me about the list when she got in from work. Now the link drops me at the Survey monkey home page and we can't see the list. Part of the fun with this sort of thing is going back to the list even if it's just to review it. It would be kind of fun to be able to see how this was going.

Don't let Chandler Avenue get too upscale. This is still the mutant, radiation blasted side of town, and not the place for fancy restaurants and nice offices (although, to be honest, it might be funny to have Big Finish have their offices there!).

Chandler is for the mutants and the downtrodden. It is blue-collar all the way.

An update with a lot of informations less than one week after the end of the campaign, that's great !
I hope it will continue. A lot of kickstarter campaigns almost don't give any news after they've reached their goal. But this campaign is not the average kickstarter campaign ! And I can't wait to watch a new broadcast. Thank you for everything.
And please, for the musical, more a thing like the scene in the fuschia flamingo in PD. Not a true musical ... (or, with an option at the begining of the game to skip it / or an independat story where everyone in chandler Avenue is singing, but not in the plot of the new game)

About the musical section, it could be worked into the plot nicely, like Tex having to go undercover in a club and thus having to play with the band (there's a funny scene on that premise in a french movie called "Oss 117 : Le Caire Nid d'Espions"). Pandora vibe doesn't mean no humor or relief, right ?

With all the extra filming and programming I'm guessing we're looking at a release date of Christmas 2013 or Spring 2014... I could be wrong, this is just a guess... I'd wait until 2020 now that I know it is being made... The last 15 years have been horrible... lol

Personally, I think women look wonderful in men's t-shirts. But then, I also voted for a "Gentleman's Club" to be added to Chandler Ave. (Noir needs sleazy joints that the good guy wouldn't have frequented if he wasn't hitting, or heading towards, rock bottom.)

How about adding a cupcake shop to the list of new establishments? For the survey, do we select 56 or 1 for our favorite shop? Also, can someone vote the same number for multiple establishments? Should our 3 numbers add up to any certain total?

Having to push back game release because the community helped fund great expansions? Thats the kind of delay I like to hear :) Great that you'll be taking the extra time to flesh them out. Look forward to hearing from you during the development process (so long as there are non-spoiler and spoiler separations!), good luck guys with the game dev!
